Anarchism, in advocating a free and diverse society, is perhaps the only tradition that has consistently rooted out domination
in its many forms, while also attempting to theorize and practice utopian alternatives. It has also been a crucial catalyst
for what has become a global movement today, potentially offering an anti-authoritarian alternative to the hegemony of representative
democracy and Western capitalism. Anarchist Social Theory will survey anarchism's aspirations from its European beginnings
during the Industrial Revolution to its reemergence as a postwar and especially contemporary phenomenon in order to illuminate
its relevancy for a globalizing world.
